    Anyone else feel like their boobs are shrinking?? LO is just barely eating solids once a day but I feel like my chest is getting smaller and smaller! The swimsuit I was busting out of two months ago fits just fine now.

    @scg00387: def getting smaller. i'm still wearing the 34ds, but i'm hoping to get into my 34cs soon, and hopefully they'll stop shrinkng! LOL... i def don't get that "full" feeling ever with bfing. (i hear it's normal right around our time pp).

    @mrsjyw: glad I'm not alone I hope mine stop shrinking!!

    How else are all the November babies?? We're into the pulling up phase and climbing, I feel so bad - I moved his exersaucer to a different room and forgot it had been protecting the stick vaccum that charges in the corner. Of course he tried to climb on it and pulled it straight over top of him Bad babyproofing job. He has otherwise been super happy and napping more consistently, just starting to actually eat solids. I think we're working on the top teeth too!

    @scg00387: i feel like i am the only one on the planet whose boobs didn't grow at all during pregnancy or bfing! so although they aren't shrinking, they never got bigger to begin with! bummer

    M is doing good! such a happy baby and loves being outside and swimming! sleep is back to crap lately, but just embracing it and not stressing! army crawling all over the place and trying to real crawl, getting close!

    @NovBaby1112: ha i think there's two of us! prepreg i was barely a 34a, during pregnancy a fuller 34a to 36a, now i'm back to regular 34a. boo!!

    @scg00387: baby is doing good! she started army crawling this past weekend! i know she wants to crawl on her knees but can't quite figure it out. she's just rocking back and forth. not really liking solids but she'll eat it. i'm trying to get into finger foods. the only ones she likes is mum mum's. she will only eat puffs about half the time i offer. i'm going to start trying to give her some banana soon! still no teeth! i feel like she's been teething for so long. i *think* i see the bottom ones coming in but i've been thinking that for awhile so who really knows!

    @highwire: yay! how fun are pre-toddlers

    @NovBaby1112: ummm you're LUCKY! I would've much rather stuck with the status quo instead of ballooning (and now, sad, saggy balloons). we love being outside and water too.. I am already dreading the cold winter since going outside is my go-to cure for crabbiness!

    @kodybear: i love army crawling!! so fun. I haven't offered puffs yet but my little guy is pretty ambivalent about solids too!

    @kodybear: Add another to the itty bitty committee Mine never grew during pregnancy and I would say I am a fuller A cup now (maybe a B) when I was a small almost-not-an-A pre-pregnancy. I am seriously going to miss even this modest amount of extra boobage!

    @scg00387: Pulling up and climbing over here, too. She is proper crawling as of a couple weeks ago and now she is FAST. Getting lots of little scrapes and bumps - I feel bad for her but she is learning how to sit from standing better and seems to take it all in stride. We're trying to practice not making a big deal out of her little boo-boo's but it's hard.

    Sleep has taken a nose-dive just this past week. She wakes as soon as she hits the crib mattress, gets up on all fours and reaches out to pull up in the crib. It is pretty awful and is making me seriously regret not sleep training back at 5 months when we planned (but sleep was fine then, so we didn't!). Now she just stands there at the crib rail yelling "mamamamamamama" in this super sad little voice. It kills me. We are moving in two weeks though and after she gets settled a bit at the new place, we're going to give it a real try this time (though I am not looking forward to it AT ALL I am looking forward to at least her being able to fall asleep on her own even if she doesn't STTN).

    Just have to ask, are you ladies thinking of number two? My DH is older so he was wanting them closer together. Like we would start to get off the pill at nine months. But now that my little peanut is here I'm not so sure. I don't want to take away time from her, but I don't want to wait too long. Sigh. If only we could pick the exact month...

    @kml636: Not really, but I am horrible about taking the mini pill so we had a little scare recently...

    We wouldn't be wild about #2 right now because we are finally back into the swing of our aggressive debt payment plan (student loans! arg!) and getting pregnant again would pretty much halt that completely. That's not even talking about having two in daycare at the same time or me becoming a SAHM. Ugh. Yeah, we are not ready

    ETA: if none of that was an issue, I wouldn't be opposed to it. But we're both young (25 and 27) so we don't feel any clock ticking yet.

    @kml636: We had previously decided that we would space our kids out (due to money mostly). We are also both young (27) so we have time on our side. DH and his sister are 18 months apart and they have an awesome relationship, but I know that it was tough on his parents. My brother and I are 5 years apart and also get along great, so that's more like what I'm aiming for. Just so I can only pay for one kid in daycare at a time!
    Though it is tempting to get the 'baby' stuff over with sooner. I think I would be a lot more open to a second child sooner if LO slept better. She is such an awesome baby and my pregnancy and birth were wonderful. I tell people if it weren't for the money and lack of sleep I would have so many babies!!

    @kml636: nope! ideally we'd want them about 2-3 years apart so we won't officially be trying until maybe march of next year. but... the first time around it seemed like it took alot of effort to get pregnant (temping, fertility monitor, etc) and took us 5 months. so i secretly think i'd love to get pregnant by surprise. haha we're using the pnp method but i really doubt it'd happen on its own. if money wasn't an issue tho i would probably start thinking abt a 2nd now too! daycare is so expensive tho!!

    @lindseykaye: C is such a good sleeper that I just know our next one is going to be the one with all the sleep problems...and I don't want to tempt fate!

    @highwire: You never know! Apparently both my brother and I were awesome sleepers, easy happy babies. Apparently my LO does not take after me (yet?).

    @lindseykaye: @highwire: @kodybear: so I'm the only crazy one lol! The daycare thing is a big concern. We have it dogwood right now with me working part time and her in daycare 2x per week. We had said with two I would be a SAHM, but I'm just not sure.

    @lindseykaye: Aw A does exactly the same with sleeping. Because my side of the mattress is next to her crib, she will try roll out of the crib to me too, crying and reaching for me and then get her arms or legs stuck in the slats. It kills me. Sometimes I wonder whether we should have done CIO when she was young because it seems doing it now would be more heartbreaking since she's more attached to me. But I can't do it, it's just not in me at the moment. I think I would probably approach sleep differently with #2.

    @kml636: I don't have my period back yet but if I did, DH would have wanted to try already. We are both 32 and I have PCOS so time isn't on our side. I've emailed my acupuncturist (how I got preg last time)already about when I need to start up treatment again and we decided when I was 9 months pp so I guess pretty soon. We'll officially be TTC again when A is a year old, as I want to breastfeed until then, but we have PCOS against us so not sure how it will all pan out.

    @travelgirl1: I don't have my period either, and I also was doing acupuncture when I got pregnant! I want to bf a year, too. I think I'll get off the pill and do the pnp method to see if my period comes back...

    @kml636: My acupuncturist said sometimes pregnancy sorts period issues out and everything is okay afterwards but I'm sensing it won't be for me. I hope acupuncture is as good for me next time, it's not easy on the budget but it was a great treatment

    @kml636: I want to EBF to a year otherwise we'd totally be trying! No period back yet. Well probably stop preventing a little before a year.

    We've talked about this recently. We really want them to be 2-3 years apart, especially because I had a cesarean and delivery complications (eclampsia). My mom watches LO so the daycare cost isn't too much of a concern, but she's already 62 (looks very young for her age and is very active) and I don't want her to have to juggle two little ones at too much older of an age. Although by the time we have a second my LO will probably be ready for part-time preschool. I just turned 30 and my husband is about to be 34, so we are ok in terms of age, although not that young anymore.

    We had originally planned to try when LO turned 2 but last night we were talking about moving that up to when she turns 18 months. We are still unsure if we want 2 or 3 and if we want 3 we should get moving. We both turn 29 this year and want to still be on the young side once our kids are all grown and out of the house.

    dh wanted a BFP like four months ago! LOL... right now, my only goal is to make it to one year of ebf/ds' first year as a "baby" being JUST him.

    i also want to enjoy the next pregnancy as much as i did the first. (memory fails me at this pt all the bad parts of it :P)... ideally i'd like to start trying spring of 2014, which i think would make the babes 2 years apart. my younger brother and i are 20 months apart and super close.

    i turn 30 next month, dh turns 32 in oct--- we're in the "not so young, not so old" camp when it comes to baby making...

    @ChelseaRose: my mom is also our primary care and about to turn 60. while she is active and more than able, i want to be cognizant of her help and comfort as well!
